The Biblical Answer
Isaiah provides the richest descriptions of the millennial kingdom. 'The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb' (Isaiah 11:6) — nature transformed. 'They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD' (Isaiah 11:9). 'Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more' (Isaiah 2:4). Christ rules from Jerusalem: 'The LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem' (Isaiah 24:23). Life spans increase dramatically: 'The child shall die an hundred years old' (Isaiah 65:20). The land of Israel becomes extraordinarily fruitful (Ezekiel 36:35). The temple is rebuilt (Ezekiel 40-48). David reigns as a prince under Christ (Ezekiel 37:24-25). Revelation 20:4-6 describes saints reigning with Christ for a thousand years. Satan is bound, unable to deceive the nations (Revelation 20:2-3). This is the fulfillment of every Old Testament promise of a righteous, peaceful kingdom under the Messiah.
